Hi Randy, thanks for your amazing coding! Yeah the iOS platform is very cool! I just love it’s stealth and agility (via AUM particularly) to provide mass accessibility and freedom to explore and lose yourself wherever you are: on a train, …up a mountain, …on the beach etc! It’s really democratised sound/music creation.
What’s made it so special for me is that since its humble beginnings circa 2010 it’s just been such a profound sandbox for indie creativity and allowed developers to really get their freak on (and I soooo have a will to get sonically weird) lol! I still can’t believe Moog made incredible iOS apps (like Animoog and Model 15) and still haven’t released them on desktop yet (drool)!
I too would love for ML to release things on iOS but also fail to understand how it would be financially viable. The only realistic ‘strange attractor’ I can think of would be to do what Modartt (PianoTeq) do and provide access to it with the purchase of a desktop licence (only).
Naturally that’s extra work for nothing but a gateway also as been able to design patches on the move or perform super lite is enticing and undeniable diverse value for money (as a further selling point for desktop acquisition).
It’s just whether the codebase can easily be migrated as part of the regular desktop builds (naturally from Mac to iOS has to be the easiest route) but it’s additional heart ache all the same!
I’m just happy I discovered ML and really dig your software whichever form it comes in! :)
Really interesting metrics… I only discovered ML after so I didn’t get to take part sadly, but I’m just learning about your portfolio of sonic indulgence currently (extremely groovy BTW)!
It’s really interesting to get a feel for the user base too (hi y’all)! I’m not surprised there’s such strong support for Ableton (as it’s incredibly performance orientated). I think my love of iOS has got me much more interested in learning it’s weirding ways (being a Cubase user) …this has inspired me to give my lite copy some love!
Hi guys/girls, my 1st post but I just wanted to say I’m so happy to have discovered Madrona Labs as your products are really wild and I can’t wait to explore them all in time! This reminds me a little of the ANS and the creative experiments of Alexander Zolotov (an iOS developer mainly as a phone has both a camera and a mic so it’s open possibilities for transcoding between visual and the auditory):

I would imagine you likely know way more about the original Russian hardware concept behind the ANS than me but it’s really out there and innovative and I know Zolotov has other iOS apps; Nature Osc that converts a real-time camera feed into frequencies and PhonoPaper that converts audio samples to printable patterns then back to audio again! With both experiments being based around the original ANS hardware theory/architecture.
Your article above is really interesting and creative and I can’t wait to get my paws on it! I would sure love to throw some Julia Sets and Mandelbrots at it, to hear what kind of weird and wonderful soundscapes they produce! I think it’s wonderful anyway that you create instruments that explore and expand sonic boundaries so kudos for the brilliant portfolio!
